Michigan Ice Fishing

The sport of ice-fishing is one of the fastest-growing forms of angling. The reasons are obvious. You don't need a whole bunch of gear to get started. But don't get me wrong, because we've come a long way from the days of chopping a hole with a spud and sitting on a bucket.
 
Today, ice-anglers have a multitude of new gear available that is designed just for ice-fishing enthusiasts. There are special lines, rods, power augers, shelters and warmer clothing that make ice-fishing not only bearable, but also downright fun. To really get into the sport, though, doesn't require a huge investment.

Michigan is a hotbed for ice-fishing. It's no wonder. Michigan has an abundance of great lakes that are accessible to everyone once a casing of safe, thick ice covers them. Most years, that happens early in the year or even by Thanksgiving in the Upper Peninsula. Either way, ice-anglers have plenty of time to practice their sport, an assortment of species to pursue and a multitude of lakes on which to do it on. What else do you have to do during a long, cold Michigan winter? Read more at Michigan Sportsman.

Hess Lake (755 acres) is as little know source for excellent crappie and Northern Pike fishing. We have good luck jigging with wax worms and minnows.
